Thanks for that...

Andrew paid the price for that drive, it's good to see there's some pics of him.

Andrew's car certainly has a nose design that brings back memories to me of Jody Scheckter's 1972 McLaren Formula Two car, the M 21.

Harry Galloway worked for Surtees before returning to Australia to build the Galloway... but he certainly would have seen those McLarens while he was there.

The car used for one season by John Smith in ANF2 (1600 single cam - he used a Ford) and then 'Mad Andy' took it to NZ.

It didn't last him long.

That is actually my sister debbie in the Tul...my brother in law john evans drove it in a clubmans later on....Even Murf drove the Tul one clubmans when he was working for me ...he shunted one of my Van diemen rf91's in practice and jumped in the tul and still finished top 3...


Hi Richard,
I know this is an old post but do you happen to recall where & when this picture was taken? Also, any idea when & where Tony George drove it?

Thanks Rod - there are more on the previous page also.

I have scanned some more of Doc Irving and will email them to you so you can forward them to Robin.

Eric Mallard used to get me to take the 'head and shoulders' photographs, so he could use them for the driver's listings in the programmes. Good to see these young guys faces out of their helmets so long ago.

Thanks for posting James, thats a really pretty car. The DB4 is one of the best looking race cars of the era in my opinion, and with success to match.
